I listen to a lot of 80's music now though, maybe I took it all in subconsciously back then. I love Duran Duran! :thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blueyedmule Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 I went through some country, like Don Williams, George Strait, Alabama, and then moved to Bob Seger, AC/DC, Journey, Rush, Scorpions, Def Leppard, Night Ranger, the Cars, Van Halen, Cheap Trick, then to Dio, Ratt, Crue, Priest, Maiden, Metallica, Anthrax. But also I got turned onto things like the Sugarcubes, Sinead O' Connor, Morrissey, Guana Batz, Missing Persons, U2. A guy I knew in '89 turned me on to a bunch of Sub Pop stuff that sort of centered around his Bauhaus and Joy Division obsession. He gave me an early tape of Soundgarden that year, said he didn't get it but it seemed like the metalhead guys seemed to like them. I also went through a bunch of Christian rockers in the late 80's to early 90's, Life Savers Underground is one such that comes to mind, Bride is another. There were more but I think I hit the genres anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Svi Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 I was born in '80, so anything I listened to was played on my dad's stereo. I remember Dire Straits, INXS, U2, Alan Parson's, the Cars, the Who, the Police, Stevie Ray, Elvis Costello, Michael Jackson, Talking Heads and whoever sang "Funky Town". My first tape was Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation" followed by INXS "Kick". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L-1329 Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 Rush Iron Maiden Boston U2 Those were the main ones, and I still have some strong influences musically from those bands. U2 especially, I'm a virtual deciple of the Edge's style with guitars. And for bass, you just can't get better rock than Geddy, Steve, and Fran.
